The entire term of “Artificial Intelligence” is basically a misnomer, false advertising, even fraud. It is merely an advanced “correlation engine”. It is the output of an algorithm, and has no concept of what anything is. It does not “know” anything. It is the result of the 1’s and 0’s humans input as training data or context, or give it access to query via the internet etc; including all the misinformation, disinformation, errors, and bias. There is no intelligence or critical thought. It does not get the difference between causation and correlation. It just responds based on some internal probability matrix or distribution; correlations compressed into weights/coefficients from all of the training data.
The only thing that makes its responses appear stochastic is the randomization seed and context, or other techniques harnesses use to dogfood its own responses into itself. Without those, you can have the exact same conversation, byte for byte, and the responses become evidently deterministic and “dumb”.
All of the “novel” solutions I’ve seen to date are not actually novel at all, having merely applied some technique documented in a far removed discipline, entirely explained by the properties of a gargantuan working memory and no off switch. We don’t call a computer “super intelligent” because it can process trillions of mathematical calculations a second. Those are merely properties we explicitly engineered into the machine.
